Oldsmobile 98
The Oldsmobile 98 was a brand name of automobile sold by the Oldsmobile division of General Motors in the United States. The name appeared with the first post-World War II Oldsmobiles in 1946. It was, as it would remain, the top of the line model, with lesser Oldsmobiles having lower numbers such as 66 and 76. These were replaced by the Oldsmobile 88 in 1949, and the two number-names would carry on into the 90's as the bread and butter of the full-size Oldsmobile lineup.
Occasionally additional nomenclature was used with the name, such as L/S and Holiday, and the 98 Regency badge would become increasingly common in the later years of the model. The 98 shared its bodyshell with the Buick Electra.
